Chapter 2, Part 1

*the Wolfpack of TNT is on course for the Lehon sector, where they have tracked Mr. Guido to. Unfortunately, this is a rather long trip, taking about 50 hours. The scene opens on the bridge of the Freyja, where Gonick has returned to his Game Boy, and Emma and Edward Saganami are just kind of sitting*

Gonick, looking up from his diminutive screen: Hey, has it occurred to anyone that it's kind of silly to send an entire fleet, with our entire officer compliment, to recapture one prisoner with one ship?

Emma: Nope.

Saganami: Uh uh.

Gonick: ......

*several hours later*

Gonick: YES! Take that, Mother Brain!

Emma: You got another one of those anywhere?

Gonick: Here, take this one. *tosses Emma the Game Boy* I need sleep anyway. Saganami, keep an eye on stuff until I get back. Two, if you can spare them.

*several hours later*

Emma: Gaah! Fracking Metroids... Ahh! Them's mah brainmeats! Rrrrr....

Gonick, stepping out of turbolift: Emma, please don't stab my Game Boy. It's an antique.

Emma: Oh please. I know you build these in that lab of yours at HQ.

Gonick: Yes. Using an antique diagram. Now you two get to sleep. And give me that Game Boy. I have a word or two to give to Kefka.

Saganami: And by 'word', you mean...

Gonick: Many stabs with orialchons, and burns with spells?

Saganami: Thought so.

*Emma and Saganami exit via the turbolift*

Gonick, to nobody in particular: I love traveling by montage.

*several hours later, in a corridor on the Freyja*

*Edward Saganami, Gonick, several androids, a policeman with a billy club, and a grizzly bear are chasing each other in and out of the doors in the hallway. 'Yakety Sax' by Boots Randolph plays over the internal comms*

Emma, over the comms: TURN THAT DOWN! I need my beauty sleep!

Gonick: And how!

Emma: I heard that!

Gonick: Eep!

*Emma steps out of a turbolift, brandishing a frightening looking knife*

Gonick: Computer, resume program Benny Hill Alpha! Saganami? RUN!

*yet more hours later*

*Gonick, Emma, and Saganami are on the bridge*

Gonick: Does anyone remember the last 24 hours? Coz I can-

Emma: Approaching destination.

Marcus, over the comms: Ready, Gonick?

Gonick: As I'll ever be. Drop the fleet out of warp!

*scene ends*
